Nintendo Makes Greenpeace Cry Again

Remember back in December when Greenpeace sent out a report of how environmentally friendly various electronics companies were? And remember how Nintendo scored a big fat zero on their scale, completely baffling both Nintendo and others alike? Well, none of that has stopped Greenpeace from releasing a new report this month, with Nintendo still bringing up the rear. This time the company has jumped up a bit to score a 0.3 on the scale, but Greenpeace still says they need to make more effort to “clean up their products by eliminating hazardous substances” and “take back and recycle their products responsibly once they become obsolete.”
Wait, let me see if I’ve got this straight: Greenpeace wants Nintendo to make efforts to recycle their obsolete products? Are they referring to the past generations of consoles, like the NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube? Because most of the people who still have those probably have no intention of giving them up anytime soon. Nintendo doesn’t make HD-DVD players, Greenpeace; their stuff never becomes obsolete.

Well said! Tell Greenpeace to get back in the ocean and save the whales, and leave Nintendo to its business.
I’ll gladly give them my PS3 in order to save a couple dozen SNES’s and N64’s.LOL
You can have my SNES when you pry it from my cold, dead hand……
as long as they don’t have it,
if they want to take it back they have to first
kill me and destroy my ’till my hands are really of the ness
Ohhh, so Greenpeace is nailing them on those old bulky cartrages. I was wondering what this stink was all about. Why isn’t Atari on that list, you know of that landfill which has nothing but ET cartrages in it?
